FOREWORD

The following information is issued on behalf of the four Western Australian

public universities. Its aim is to help Year 10 students to decide on their

senior school courses, so that they meet university admission requirements.

Remember to choose courses which will allow entry to a wide range of

university courses.

In determining the requirements for 2013 admission the universities have

consulted the school sectors and the School Curriculum and Standards

Authority (formerly Curriculum Council), and taken account of changesannounced in 2007 and 2008 by the then Minister of Education and

Training, and the School Curriculum and Standards Authority. There are

separate external examinations for stage 2 and stage 3 units in all WACE

courses. To ensure the best possible chance of success in university

studies, students intending to study WACE courses are strongly

recommended to attempt stage 3 units (and in the case of mathematics

courses, units 3C/3D) in Year 12, if they are capable of doing so.

For the remainder of this publication, in the context of Year 12 study, the

term course(s) means both WACE course(s) and past TEE subjects.

This inform ation is correct as at 11 October 2012. It applies to

applicants who w ill be under 20 years of age on 28 February 2013 (ie

students born on or after 1 March 1993). It is relevant only fo

admission in 2013 and is subject to change without noti ce.

However, if you have satisfied a university’scompetence in English requirement previously via results in TEE English,TEE English Literature or TEE English as a Second Language (ESL), thenyou have satisfied that university’s current competence in Englishrequirement.

3. THE AUSTRALIAN TERTIARY ADMISSION RANK (ATAR)

The Australian Tertiary Admission Rank is the basis of admission to mostuniversity courses. You are ranked in order of merit based on your ATAR.

The ATAR ranges between zero and 99.95. It reports your rank relative to all

other WA students of Year 12 school leaving age and takes into account the

number of students with a Tertiary Entrance Aggregate (TEA) as well the number of people of Year 12 school leaving age in the population this state. An ATAR of 75.00 indicates that you have an overall ratequal to or better than 75% of the Year 12 school leaving age populationWestern Australia.

The ATAR is calculated using scaled scores in courses.

SCALING AND INCREMENTS

All course results will be scaled to ensure fairness to all students.

Unless otherwise specified, references to scaled scores in thbrochure mean the final scaled score obtained in either stage 2 stage 3 of a WACE course, or in a past TEE subject. The AveraMarks Scaling process is used to scale marks obtained in stage 2

stage 3 of a course. For a full explanation and diagram of tprocess, see Marks Adjustment Process for University Admission www.tisc.edu.au.

WACE courses except Mathematics and Mathematics: Specialist

As an incentive for students to study courses at the more demandstage 3 if they are capable of doing so, an increment will be applied stage 3 marks. After standardisation and statistical moderation hoccurred, the combined unscaled marks at stage 3 of a course and tcombined unscaled marks at stage 2 of the course are placed oncommon scale of adjusted combined marks for the course. The adjustcombined marks at stage 3 will be increased by 15 marks per courrelative to the adjusted combined marks at stage 2. After this, the marksboth stages are merged and scaled using Average Marks Scaling. increment will be applied if a course is only examined at stage 3.

Mathematics and Mathematics: Specialist

Mathematics (with four unit pairs 2A/2B; 2C/2D; 3A/3B and 3C/3D) aMathematics: Specialist (with two unit pairs 3A/3B and 3C/3D) have possible examinations. To encourage students to attempt the highest leof mathematics they are capable of, the following increments will be applbefore scaling:

Mathematics Adjusted combined marks for 2A/2B – no increment

Adjusted combined marks for 2C/2D + 10

Adjusted combined marks for 3A/3B + 20


Mathematics: Specialist

Adjusted combined marks for 3A/3B – no increment


CALCULATION OF THE TEA

The ATAR is derived from the Tertiary Entrance Aggregate (TEA).

The TEA will be calculated by adding the best four scaled scores. The

may be in any combination of courses and/or past TEE subjects, as list

below. No course or past TEE subject can be counted more than on

NOTE: Stage 2 and stage 3 of the same WACE course cannot both coun

In calculating the scaled score, equal weight is given to the final schomark and the final examination mark, except where courses/subjects ataken on a private basis (see explanation under Courses Studied onPrivate Basis below).

There are unacceptable course combinations whereby scores in bocourses/subjects cannot both be used (see explanation undUnacceptable Course Combinations below).

For all universities you may accumulate scaled scores which contributeyour ATAR over five consecutive years. Scaled scores from previostudy of TEE subjects or WACE courses are on the same scale as scal

scores obtained from study in 2012 and will be used directly in tcalculation of an ATAR, if applicable. You may use previous scaled scorback to 2008.

TEA TO ATAR

TISC will construct a table to convert your TEA to an ATAR. The tabtakes into account the number of students with a TEA and the numberpeople of Year 12 school leaving age in the state. This table is constructannually.



LOTE BONUS

Curtin University


As an incentive for WACE students to study a Language Other ThanEnglish (LOTE), Curtin University and The University of Western

Australia provide a bonus to students who achieve a scaled score in aSchool Curriculum and Standards Authority (formerly Curriculum Council)

approved LOTE course. This results in a Selection Rank higher than your ATAR, if you have studied a LOTE course from 2011 onwards. ThisSelection Rank is then used, in place of the lower ATAR, for admission toCurtin and UWA courses.

To calculate your Selection Rank, your TEA will firstly be enhanced by 10% ofyour final scaled score in a LOTE course. Your Selection Rank will becalculated from the TEA/ATAR conversion table, using this enhanced TEA. Ifyou complete more than one LOTE course, the bonus will be calculated usingthe LOTE course with the highest scaled score. Note that this LOTE bonuswill only be applied for LOTE courses studied from 2011 onwards. Youreceive the LOTE bonus irrespective of whether your LOTE course wascounted as one of the best four in your original TEA.LOTE courses areidentified with ‘*’ in the table of Courses Which are Used to Form the ATAR below.

PRIOR YEAR TER/ATAR

If you have a TER or ATAR from a previous year, you will be given the benefit

of the higher of your previous TER/ATAR and your current ATAR. If you have

not previously satisfied the WACE requirement or a university’s competence

in English requirement, you must satisfy current requirements.

COURSES WHICH ARE USED TO FORM THE ATARNOTE: You are strongly recommended to attempt stage 3 units in Year 12,

if you are capable of doing so.

MURDOCH UNIVERSITY

While many universities have prerequisite Year 12 courses for most of their courses, Murdoch University has a flexible degree structure that allows us

avoid this particular entrance requirement. Murdoch understands that students do not always make up their minds about the career they would like un

much later than Year 10 and so Murdoch has ‘make-up’ units available in Chemistry, Mathematics and Physics for students who have not studied, or w

have not performed well in, these subjects at Year 12 level. We do list some recommended courses because a strong mathematical background is

advantage in any science-based university course. However, they are purely a recommendation and do not affect entry. Please note that for entry to

Murdoch’s courses you must fulfil the University’s requirements on English competence.
